Ok, so...as I said there's been an addition...the ferrets picturesd above bred, and about a week and a half ago the jill gave birth to a litter of four kits.
For reasons unknown, she chose not to take care of her little ones, and 3 out of four unfortunately died before their first two days of life. (RIP)...So, I did the only thing I figured would keep the remaining one alive, I've been "nursing" it myself....feeding it initially cows milk, then a lactose free milk substitute for kittens through a lil' dropper...so, signs point to it being a boy - he's about a week and a half old now, getting stronger all the time. It's amazing how the lil' guy and me have bonded, he already recognises me by temp/scent, as he cries for me, and won't quiet down 'til I pick him up...I just cannot wait til his eyes open so we can officially "meet", I just know this lil' guy and me are gonna be real close...he's content to just fall asleep in my closed fist, his little head sticking out the top.
I'm afraid the pics aren't greatly detailed, he's still very small, and I have a shitty cam...I've taken a few snaps just to show his size and shape. - but trust me, he's plenty cute, just like a tiny puppy.
Will post more as he grows up, I'll take the next pics when his eyes are open...
